Hi. I would like to install on IBM ThinkPad T30 (Type 2366). I have identified a memory conflict that prevents me from going through the install/setup of OpenBSD. I believe the BIOS does not indicate the memory address area to OpenBSD. I also think the issue is with Texas Iinstruments PCI-1520 CardBus Controller (PCMCIA).

During installation I tried 'memory mem -0x100000@500000000' but the conflict is still apparent.

The message "mem address conflict' is generated by the pci(4) driver. See /usr/src/sys/dev/pci/pci.c, line 795; here's a link to the source code file -- which has not had a patch committed since 5.1-release.

Thanks for the info. I had a look into the src and wonder if you expect me to hard code anything? Out there are reports that 4.0 is doing on their T30 but it's not really a path I would like to follow.

How about the boot/memory exclude attempt. It does not seem to get recognized. Is the command option correct?

I posted to indicate to you what component of the kernel was issuing the message; I do not have enough information to be able to determine the root cause of your problem.

I do not understand what you are trying to say. I have seen successful T30 use of OpenBSD mentioned in passing on the OpenBSD misc@ mailing list. As for 4.0-release, support ended 1 November 2007, and I do not recommend installing unsupported releases. Currently only 5.1 and 5.0 are supported.

It looks correct per boot.conf(5).

I recommend you post an informal problem report to the misc@ mailing list. Before doing so, please be sure to read FAQ 4.16 on obtaining dmesg(8) output on install problems (if applicable in this instance), FAQ 2.4 on bug reporting, and of course, be sure to read http://www.openbsd.org/mail.html and http://www.openbsd.org/report.html to ensure your posting is in the proper format and is complete as possible.
